Hi, could anyone help me with gmail api?

Question

I need to send a message from gmail using gmail api (java)

Answer 1

The google documentation refers to this:
Creating an email message can be greatly simplified with the MimeMessage class in the javax.mail.internet package.

I thinks this falls under java enterprise edition, so maybe you need to use java ee sdk or jakarta ee to make it work. But I am not sure.

Answer 2

Hi,
lucky one
In the docs there is an example for it
https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/guides/sending

Answer 3

can u explain the problem?

Answer 4

Thanks, importing javax. mail resolved the issue

Answer 5

I have seen that example, but i cannot make it to work in my app

Answer 6

I tried to use this example, but som classes were colored with red and i cannot import them.
Ex: 1)createEmail:
MimeMessage is colored with red, i can replace it with MIMEMessage type, but then [MIMEMessage email = new MIMEMessage(session);] row says 'cannot resolve constructor' and i cannot use any methods with email object. my problem is with correct import as I see
2)createEmail:
When i import Session, i cannot use getDefaultInstance method
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.server.Session;
Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, null);

3)createMessageWithEmail:
emailContent.writeTo(buffer);
writeTo method also cannot be used
